International Equity

Our philosophy and process

At Diamond Hill, we have consistently applied an intrinsic value equity investment philosophy since our founding. We seek to buy ownership stakes in businesses trading for less than what they are worth and wait for that value to be realized over time.

Under our intrinsic value investment philosophy, we:

Treat every investment as a partial ownership interest in that company

Seek to always invest with a margin of safety

Possess a long-term investment temperament

Recognize that market price and intrinsic value tend to converge over a reasonable period of time

We believe the price that you pay for a business is critical. Great businesses do not in and of themselves make great investments — as Warren Buffett has pointed out, “Price is what you pay; value is what you get.” We only purchase shares when they are available at a sufficient discount to our assessment of the intrinsic value.

Investment team highlights

All team members conduct deep fundamental analysis in the search for the most attractive opportunities overseas.
Several team members bring unique perspectives from being born and raised, educated or having spent time living in countries outside the US.
All team members operate as generalists due to the vast nature of the opportunity set, though each team member brings distinct areas of expertise.
The team interacts informally daily and more formally on a weekly basis to ensure efficient decision making and to avoid silos of information.
The team's structure provides flexibility to capitalize on opportunities wherever they exist, especially in some of the more esoteric industries globally that are not well covered by Wall Street analysts.
